After lurking for a couple of weeks, I just had to comment on this I9fangui program. First If I had this program ~4 years ago, I’d be typing this on my Inspiron 8000, I’m sure of it. Now that I’m working on a XPS M140, I’d like to make sure it doesn’t get as HOT as my 8000 did. This program looks like it will do the trick! So, Thanks spudsdude!
So far on my XPS M140, the I9fangui works well, considering it only has 1 fan. I guess with the Centrino M, it naturally runs cool, at least compared to my Inspiron 8000, which I believe just cooked itself to death…
I ran Halo for ten minutes in observer mode, then ten minutes with the fan on high, and I had 10 degrees (F) cooler with the fan on… Had a little trouble with the cpu temp control, in that the fan would cycle at every update reading, so it ran high, then slow, high, then slow, etc… A longer update interval set at 10 seconds has helped, but at the temperature threshold point, it still has trouble deciding where it should stay. I wonder if for a single fan unit like mine, if the “off” at the higher level setting could be allowed to be lower than the previous levels “on” setting? This might put a little more time between the on and off for a single fan unit… Just a thought…
Since the 2nd fan has to have at least one setting beside “off”, or “no change”, I put the highest level to “slow”. If it ever hits that level it will create a fault, I’m sure as it does in the lower levels and stop whatever I’m doing. I kind of like that. It acts like a temperature alarm!
One thing I’d like to have available, would be some sort of temperature guide lines. Right now, I’m going by brail.
This is a fantastic program! Thanks again spudesdude!
